Hey
there! Its How to Thursday and Imma gonna show you how to do what I do best! Jean
Purses! Here are my lovely step by step instructions.
1. Take a pair of old jeans and cut off the legs.
(If these are wide leg jeans, this will work a lot better, then you only need
to use one leg and the other can be used for a strap.)
2. Take one leg and split it at the seam. Now you
have a fat and long piece of denim fabric.
3. Take your fabric and fold it in half hot dog
style. The even out the fabric so it’s a rectangle.
4. Take the fabric and cut it along the short
side about in half, or however big you want your purse to be. (Your jean is a
rectangle, cut the short side of the rectangle.)
5. Take the two halves of your cut denim and sew
them together on three sides. You might want a sewing machine.
6. So now you have a purse with an unfinished top,
so just fold over the top so that the unfinished part is inside of the purse
and hem.
7. Now you need a strap. I leave my straps
unfinished, but you can hem it if you like. Cut a length of denim from your
other pant leg to the length you wish your strap to be. If you want a really
long strap, sew two pieces together. Then take the two ends of the strap and
sew each to the corners of the purse.
8. Now you technically have a purse, but what I
like to do is color on them with fabric markers and sharpies and just make them
mine. :) Be creative!
